I have a SDC nanodegree too but not as lucky as you...I also have a masters in MechEng with 5+ engineering experience. Haven't had much success pivoting into the industry.

Keep trying! I’m fortunate. I worked extremely hard and passionately the whole nanodegree too. Maybe even to the point where it would seem obsessive ha.

I’d recommend reading the papers from the DARPA 2007 challenge. https://www.springer.com/us/book/9783642039904

Pro-tip: You can google each chapter title and find PDFs for free.

This is interesting! What was valuable about these papers specifically, as opposed to the many written in the past 11 years?

It’s important to understand the heritage of the SDC algorithms.

They also provide you with a lot of different perspectives from a practical system design level.

search each chapter title. no need to give free promo to a major ad company.

the less we use this as a verb, the less the next generation will use it.

and cheers on your nanodegree. i've finished 2 myself.
